Seriously, how can some of you people possibly celebrate or enjoy Thanksgiving or the 4th of July while perpetually flagellating yourself with such a heavy load of liberal guilt?
Mock...insult...mock...insult...mock...insult.
Well here's the good news...your burden can be lifted. All it requires of you is you to try defend something -- anything -- about the country for a change.

I do think you're misreading most of us though. I really do believe in the principles on which the U.S. is founded. I think "negativity" you're reading here has more to do with:

I think there is a big group of conservatives who agree with INDY. I'm not exactly sure where this definition came from, but I think it's one that INDY uses daily... It's a constant misreading.
BonosSaint said:It's funny because I think in the end, America will dismiss both extremes. Or probably more accurately fluctuate between the two extremes until it finds some sort of imperfect balance between them. We're kind of a schizoid society. But I don't think America will tolerate the excesses and it will swing back and forth, with neither side ultimately winning.

Irvine511 said:okay, so i am a little surprised, but the conservative Cal Thomas writing for the very conservative www.townhall.com (a website i know many conservatives in here enjoy) nails it when it comes to Romney's speech. after praising the speech itself, he goes on to say this:
[q]It was Jesus, in whom Mitt Romney said he believed, who warned, "If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first" (John 15:18)

yolland said:I'm probably just being obtuse and missing some really obvious connection, but I couldn't follow how the Bible passages he quotes were supposed to tie into his larger point about a candidate's personal faith being irrelevant to whether or not to support them. Unless he's taking them to mean 'If you're not being slaughtered then you're doing it wrong,' but that seems like it would raise more problems than it solves.
